In alternative embodiments, omni-direction wheel modules for imparting omni-directional locomotional capabilities to vehicles and objects. In further alternative embodiments, apparatus and methods for transporting and loading and off-loading munitions utilizing specialized, omni-directional capable vehicles for improved efficiency and/or safety.

Abstract: A re-locatable operator station device designed to be used to control walk-behind or stationary machinery and to be repositioned by an operator while maintaining a constant orientation with respect to the machinery. This means that the X and Y axis of the operating station remains the same as the X and Y axis of the vehicle. Such re-locatable operator station is being suitable for use on machinery such as pallet trucks, long load transporters, aircraft engine handling devices, scissors lifts, and other industrial machinery, especially omni or multi-directional machinery or vehicles, as well as with fixed machines in applications places where the operator cannot or does not remain in a single location or is better served at another location.
